One of two entrances to Oto Cemetery; the
cemetery has no entrance signs [as of July 2003]. Formerly known as Wendell Cemetery.
First burial was on Dec. 19, 1859.
The land which comprises the (original) east half of the cemetery was donated by
Minor Burton Mead and Samuel R. Day.
About 1867, Sterling Wendell and Will Furgerson donated the land which is now
the west half of the cemetery.

--------------------------------
Would like to correct a listing in the Oto Cemetery for anyone doing future
genealogy in the Pridgeon family. Though Nancy A. Pridgeon is listed on Isaac
Pridgeon's tombstone she is not buried there. After Isaac's death Nancy went to
live with some of her children in Canada. She died there in 1917 and is buried
in Rimbey, Cambrose,
Alberta Canada.
